CBS Films, TMG sign output deal

Pact covers German-speaking territories

CBS Films and Tele Muenchen Group have inked an output deal for German-speaking territories that includes up to seven pics a year, including the upcoming Harrison Ford starrer “Extraordinary Measures.”

The agreement, which comprises titles budgeted at between $20 million and $75 million, includes all rights for Germany and Austria plus DVD and TV rights in German-speaking Switzerland.

In Germany, all of the films will be released by TMG subsidiaries Concorde Filmverleih and Concorde Home Entertainment. TMG will handle distribution in Austria and Switzerland.

The German-speaking region is the only international territory other than Canada that CBS Films carved out of its all-encompassing foreign distribution deal with Sony Pictures. CBS Films will distribute the pics in the U.S. with Sony handling all other international territories aside from Canada.

The Tom Vaughan-directed “Extraordinary Measures,” which also stars Brendan Fraser and Keri Russell, is the first release under the pact. Pic opens Stateside on Jan. 22.
